A yellow '34, and an odd happening.

[Henry Rifle]

The '34: I finally got all three coats of clear on the '34. I used about twice the reducer that S/W recommended. 4:2:1 instead of 4:1:1. It went on OK, but there's still more orange peel than I would like. I would say that the car is now about a 15 footer. Any closer, and it's not that good. Oh well, I've got a good buffer, some 1000 and 2000 sandpaper and an air-conditioned garage. Photos later.

The odd happening: I had my paint gun disassembled, and was cleaning around the tip when I heard a "CLINK." At the time I was looking at the tip through my bifocals. When I looked up to see what the sound was, this is what I saw. There were no tools being used, no air pressure around, nothing moving at all. Maybe going from the cool house to the hot garage did it. Very odd . . .
